Naturally, I don't want to go too far with this. I don't want
to reinvent the wheel yet again. Just the most useful and easy
to program features. When I am done the editing tools (which is
nearly finished, I am in the process of debugging it) and
transclusions, I am thinking of adding a few other features.
Being able set specific break points, and move the text between
breakpoints around. I believe this is the basic idea behind
text cloud. I also want to have the mouse drag and drop selections
across the screen.
I personally favor a different set up for the keys:
Shift Left/Right: Hop Left/Right
Ctrl Left/Right: Expand/Contract on the left side of the selection
Alt Left/Right: Contract/Expand on the right side of the selection
Of course, I will upload a version for both sets of key bindings.
